Summary[edit]

Description The old convent of the Grey Nuns, which today houses the St. Boniface Museum, was built between 1846 and 1851, and was constructed of white oak logs. The result was a lovely two-storey Red River frame building which combined the rectangular symmetrical plan and hipped roof adopted by the Hudson’s Bay Company and French Canadian influences introduced by its designer L’Abbé Louis François Laflèche. It is an outstanding example of early Red River frame construction and is the oldest building in the City of Winnipeg.
